was entered that no articles of art or
manufacture should be exhibited in the
Capitol, except that owned by the United
States; this of course would remove the
safe and its contents.
The architect notified the patriotic lady
that she would have to remove her safe,
as the United States did not intend to
receive it. She refused positively to do
it, and said that she had given it to the
United States, and that they would have
to look out for 1t. At first Speaker Ran
dali and several of her friends objected to
its removal, but when the matter was ex-
planned to them they saw 1t was impossi-
BILE for 1t to remain there, and in the
dilemma Architect Clark closed the iron
door of the big safe over the glass portals,
closing it forever; then moved the safe to
the east portico, boxed it up, and there it
has remained ever since
1t is rather strange thing that Con-
gress did not accept this gift, because 1t Is
most valuable one and will become
more so every year The lady spent over
$500 alone in postage in collecting photo
graphs, while her express charges were
something enormous. The actual ex-
penses connected with the safe and the
books were $4,000. 1t is said that the
reason Congress did not accept the gift is
because they were afraid the patriotic
lady might come in with big claim some
time for services rendered, and as there
are great many very particular men in
Congress they wanted to save our great
great-grandchildre from any interest
this claim might accumulate in the coming
years. JOHN S. SHRIvER.

THE AMERICAS CUP.
A New Steel Clipper to Defend the Famous
Trophy.

Trophy.
Mr.. Edward Burgess, the Boston ship
builder, announces that he is designing
an eighty-six foot sloop for General G. j.
Paine, owner of the Maylower, for the
purpose of defending the Americas Cup
against the Scotch cutter Thistle. The
lines of the new sloop are still secret,
as well as her dimensions, but from a
talk with her designer it appers that she
will be within few inches Of eighty-six
feet on the waterline, will be slightly
narrower and slightly deeper than the
Maytiower, will have the overhanging
stern of the Burgess boats, but will differ
from them in having "clipper" bow in
stead of straight stem. This will give
her greater length on deck, and will, in
the Judgment of many, add TO her beauty.
The yacht will be built of steel through
out in frame and plating, and will have a
deck of white pine. The plating will be
from five-sixteenth to one-quarter of an
inch in thickness. Contracts for the work
of construction have already been signed
by Messrs. Pussy & Jones, of Whining
ton, Del, and work may already be said
to have begun, for Mr.. Pussy took meas
urements few days ago that will en-
able him to lay the keel at once and have
enabled him to prepare part of the
plating. No length of time for her COM
pletion has been stated, but the work will
be pushed with the utmost rapidity.
General Paine had but little to say
when approached on the subject, except
to confirm what Mr.. Burgess said in re-
gard to dimensions and construction. II
was evident, however, that he has full
confidence in the ability of Mr.. Burgess
to design yacht superior to the May
flower, and the fact that he assumes the
construction of an expensive yacht when
he already has one on his hands sufii-
GENTLY shows his desire TO beat the This
